We had to hurry out to church for me to teach the youth and we totally skipped breakfast. I did not do my best parenting today and Kate ate A LOT of candy.

I can assure you that if you love apple cinnamon flavored anything than you will surely love this recipe. Its perfect microwaved in the morning with a glass of almond milk, or if you feel like indulging a little bit you can have with 2-3 Tablespoons of your favorite non dairy ice cream (I used soy) as a tasty dessert.
